linda ricci - 3d pinring and the paradox of time
TRANSCRIPT
What is 3d printing?
“Additive manufacturing”:
Creating a three
dimensional object
by adding layer to
layer, until the entire
object is complete
www.etsy.com/shop/BixieStudiosLLC (launching soon!)
Design 3D print
(2 days
including
shipping)
RTV
(room temperature)
mold
(12 hours)
Final cast product
Manufacturing:
Speeding time to market with 3D printed prototypes
In the same way that the internet compressed
time for distribution of information (bits)...
...3d printing compresses time for the design,
manufacturing, & distribution of physical objects (atoms)
3D printing = Disintermediation
on a mammoth scale
(time)
(uniqueness)
(transportation)
(inventory)
(design)
40% faster time to market for
architecture & construction
costs 30%-50% less than
conventional construction
Printing full scale houses
with customized results
and never before possible
biomemetic shapes
Chemprinting drugs
On demand, immediately
available customized
pharmaceuticals
Chemistry
professor Lee
Cronin with his
“chemputer”:
"I just want to
get stuff done
fast," he says.
Bioprinting human tissue for
research & therapeutic applications
(human liver tissue in this case)
Bioprinting skin & organs
Reconstructing (and improving)
humans with custom
3d printed prosthetics
Improving prosthetics with custom
3D printed design
Revolutionizing the
dental industry
with 3d printed
production of models for
crowns, bridges,
retainers, & other dental
devices
So the next time
someone mentions 3D
printing and “guns”,
you can tell them
there’s a lot more to
the story.
